Month: February 2019

**The order book for next weekend is now full – apologies, the order book filled up in record time this week & was completely full by Monday night. Please try again next week! **

1/ Wheat, spelt & rye sourdough – A sourdough combining these three classic grains! White wheat flour is combined with wholemeal spelt & wholemeal rye to provide all the goodness of whole grains! Extremely versatile, this works well for all occasions and is a great every day sourdough.

Please note that this loaf will be baked to a darker crust than the norm for Riddle-Me-Rye loaves for those folk who prefer a darker crust! (Medium loaf, £3.00)(Vegan, dairy free)

4/ Sprouted Spelt sourdough – Sprouted grains contain a wealth of nutrients as the grains gear up to produce a new plant. The sprouting process increases levels of key nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin C, amino acids and folate. We can harness this natural process and capture the sprouting grains at their peak and use them to create some delicious breads! In the latest of our sprouted grains series we have sprouted spelt grains and incorporated the whole sprouted grains into a dough which is around 50% organic spelt and 50% organic wheat. Finally the dough is rolled in rolled spelt flakes before being cold fermented and baked to a beautiful golden hue!

It has a grassy nutty flavour, wholesome texture from the sprouted grains and is jam-packed with nutrition! (Medium loaf, £3.50)(Vegan, dairy free)

5/ Focaccia – Light bubbly bread made with Italian flour, focaccia is perfect for tearing, sharing and snacking. This week we will have the following three varieties:

Fazenda Cetec (natural) (Brazil) – This is a rich and sweet cup with flavours of raisins, pecan and smooth caramel. (recommended for espresso/filter/cafetiere) (£8.50)**

**Please note that these coffees are supplied as whole beans. Can be ground on request (please leave a note in the comment section of the order form if you require the beans to be ground and whether you would like fine/medium/coarse grind).

The Honey and Meadowsweet vinegar is made with pure honey & Orcadian spring water, infused with Meadowsweet. It is aged in chestnut barrels and has a light, delicate, floral/herbal flavour. (250ml bottle, £8.50)

2/ Beetroot, toasted pumpkin seed & cumin sourdough – this loaf was a customer favourite at a Beer & Charcuterie pairing evening that we supplied the bread for in Campervan Brewery taproom! It has an earthy, warming flavour which begins with cumin and gives way to a beautiful sweetness from the roasted beetroot. It is delicious spread with hummus and I have also paired it with beef chilli and carrot and coriander soup. (Medium loaf, £4.00)(Vegan, dairy free)

3/ Einkorn sourdough – Einkorn is one of the earliest cultivated grains, with evidence of its cultivation going back as far as 8650BC! It is a low-yielding crop which can grow well even on thin poor soil. Einkorn contains lower levels of gluten than modern wheat and is rich in protein, essential fatty acids, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin B6 and beta-carotene.

This sourdough is made with a mixture of organic einkorn flour and organic wheat flour then rolled in einkorn flakes before a cold overnight proove. It has a nutty flavour with a very slight almost fragrant finish! (Medium loaf, £3.50)(Vegan, dairy free)

4/ Foreign Extra Rye – this sourdough is our take on a Danish rugbrød. We call it “Foreign Extra Rye” and the clue why is in the photograph below! Starting with Mungoswells 100% dark rye flour we add toasted sunflower seeds, malted rye chops and linseeds that have been soaked overnight in Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (the strong export version of this classic ale). Finally we add a touch of barley malt extract before bringing the whole thing together. The depth of flavour in this loaf is incredible! (Medium loaf £3.50) (Vegan, dairy free)

5/ Northern Irish “Wheaten” soda bread – *Sold out* this bread is a really traditional daily bread in Northern Ireland, and one that you will find in any cafe, restaurant or public house. Soda bread has many regional variations throughout both Ireland and Scotland but the one thing they all have in common is that the raising agent is baking soda (as opposed to yeast or sourdough) and are nearly always made with buttermilk rather than water. This wholewheat variety works well served with butter, and with a chunk of vintage cheddar cheese or indeed any variety of jam. It is often served simply buttered alongside soup or as the basis for open sandwiches with various toppings.

It has a soft, tender crumb and a delicious aroma & buttery flavour. Please note that it does not have the same keeping qualities as sourdough and is good served fresh for 1-2 days or toasted on day 3. However, it rarely lasts that long! (1lb Tin loaf £3.00)

This loaf was a Silver medal winner at the 2018 Scottish Bread Championships!

It is inspired by the ancient kingdom of Dalriada which once spanned Western Scotland and Northeast Ireland. It tells the story of an Ulsterman’s journey to Scotland. Bringing the traditional potatoes & buttermilk of home, collecting dulse (dillisk seaweed) on the shores during his crossing & combining with the golden wheat & oats of this new land across the water which he now calls home. It mirrors my personal journey and pays homage to the traditional ingredients of Scotland and Ireland – this is a potato, buttermilk, dulse & oat sourdough. (Medium loaf, £4.00)(Vegetarian)

Dalradian sourdough

4/ Tourte au Seigle – A traditional French sourdough loaf containing 73% dark rye flour, it has a beautifully complex flavour which continues to develop as the loaf ages. It has a very thick crust with a moist crumb and keeps exceptionally well. Traditionally served sliced thinly, it works very well with smoked salmon, cheese, and charcuterie. (large loaf £3.50) (Vegan, dairy free)

1/ Potato, garlic & dill sourdough – The name says it all really! This new loaf is made with baked potatoes, roasted garlic and fresh herb dill.

This is beautiful toasted and simply spread with butter for a quick “garlic bread” and also works well with scrambled or poached eggs. (Medium loaf £3.50) (Vegan, Dairy-free)

Khorasan is an ancient grain with a rich, nutty, buttery flavour. It is more nutritious than modern wheat and is high in protein, fibre, B vitamins and minerals, in particular manganese. Some people with an intolerance to modern wheat varieties have found they can digest products made with Khorasan flour more easily. This loaf is supplemented by a five grain blend of malted wheat flakes, barley flakes, sunflower seeds, millet and oats. (Medium loaf, £3.50)(Vegan, dairy-free)
